Raymond,

are you using the new option in 5.0.4: dismiss charger indicator at 100%? Your last log showed that your phone was fully charged. and I believe there might be a bug where if you have permanent time display come up, the dismiss charger at 100% is actually terminating NoLED's notification screen causing a little nice loop in your case.

my phone is far from 100% now, so I can't really try to replicate this. but yea, lemme know.. or best, gimme the pastebin :)
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

Nope that's not it either. It has happened many times when I was not anywhere near 100% and not charging. Anyway, here is the URL: http://pastebin.com/9ffm39ZX
[Android Apps and Games] Nelthalin:
Ah good to know its not only the Galaxy Note. I think it is possible to switch most of the screen off but i guess you will need some local dimming logic to get it down more then it is now. I think thats to expensive. And i guess samsung never thought of this kind of usage. Mostly people will want to use the whole screen.

Its really to bad Samsung's dont have led indicators like the HTC's i really miss that. But noLED is a nice workarround :)

No not at all! please do :) i did these test because it was hard to find any real data regarding noLED and battery drain. So i decided to test it myself. Now we have a nice indication of the battery usage.

Update: I want to rerun/double check some test results tonight.

Samsung's Hardware and Driver support for battery readout are not good :( HTC's is way better. (no mAh support with samsung)

Last night i had 0% loss in 6 hour idle.

And just did a rest with a big whatsapp icon and blink @ 7 sec, screen on 1 sec + clock. And drain was now reading 1% per 9-10 min

Still good but not as good as my run yesterday with the red missed call icon and 0,5/1 sec screen on + 10 sec off, No clock. (1% every 20 min).
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
sorry to be asking you to test all these APKs. Your last log indicates a bug but my debugging points weren't enough.

this will give me the exact trace and i will be able to find where noled is terminating itself when the notifications show up.

kindly do the same: install this apk > replicate > logcat > pastebin.

Edit: can you check your timeout settings? did you have it set to 1min or 2min previously? Battery saving features > notifications timeout and see what you have.

delay all doesn't work...

I'm trying to set not to show up messages popup in these programs, but it isn't very cool to me.

4.8 (and older versions) was particularly awesome because whenever I receive a message, and the screen was off, I got the popup, but after 1/2 seconds NoLed started working and, if the phone was in poket, prevented to accidentally press any key (because of proximity sensor).

Now, if I receive a message while phone is in poket, I can press accidentally some key...

Could you, maybe, introduce:

- an option that when I receive any notification, also if it comes when screen on, the proximity sensor turns on and NoLed turn off instantly the screen and prevents the keys to be pressed, if the phone is covered/in pocket?

or

- a feature that NoLed shows every notification in the statusbar, also if it's read (if there is the icon in the statusbar, NoLed will display the icon). Today it's not in this way: if I unlock and lock again, even if I didn't touched the statusbar, NoLed will not show again the icon.

Just some ideas, let me know if they are bull**** or not :p
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

It's set for five seconds. Is that the default setting? I've never touched those. I'll test this newer one later today, I have a class to go to. I'm back on 5.0.3b, and I've already gotten 3 notifications so far that showed up fine along with the permanent time display and the weather icon.
[Android Apps and Games] Holmes108:
That is so awesome. Congrats. If only you'd charged even 10 cents a head... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] eiddor:
Congrats on hitting a million!

I think the problem I'm having with my wife's phone is different than Raymond's. When running 5.x (seems like it's been this way since 5.x, anyways), when she gets a text or email, NoLED pops up for a second, and then the PIN screen appears right away. If she's not there to see, the PIN entry screen will timeout and she won't know that she got an alert.

Going back to 4.x fixes the problem, NoLED works as expected. She's not running anything other than the default lockscreen/PIN, and I haven't seen any settings in 5.x that would cause this.
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
Seeing the same issue on my Skyrocket. Emails and Text Messages will cause their notification icon the briefly appear, then the lock screen appears, stays on til it times out then the screen goes dark.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
hi, i'm planning on getting this sorted out but i first need a way to duplicate these popup messages myself. i don't have a second line sitting next to me to keep sending whatsapp messages to my testing unit so that's ruled out.. i also don't use viber or whatever. i guess i'll wait til the weekend then i'll just use my fiance's phone to send whatsapp messages to myself.

for the status bar notification idea, there are no Android APIs that determine whether or not you have dismissed the status bar notifications. I only know if something new is added to that bar. that's essentially how monitored apps work. that's why i can't make NoLED reappear until you dismiss them from the status bar unfortunately.

ok, that's definitely not the default setting. and i'm thinking this is the problem after all. if so, it's not a bug but a corrupt setting. simply choose "no timeout" and the notifications should stick.

i know. lol. but then again, i might be breaking only a 1000+ downloads today :rolleyes:

When you guys say email, which email app do you mean? are we talking about gmail? if not, then does this email app turn the screen on or display a popup?

if you guys can sideload apks, please do download the last one i posted and post a logcat file so that I could see why NoLED is dismissing itself.

you see, i'm not able to replicate it and it seems that only few people are having this issue so a logcat will definitely help.
[Android Apps and Games] eiddor:
In our case, it's K-9 Mail, which does nothing special for alerts (and works great with 4.x). Handcent is also a problem, and popups are OFF.

When she gets home, I'll load the last APK you posted and get you a log.

Roddie
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
For me its touchdown for email and Go SMS pro for Messaging.

I can sideload so I'll generate an email and sms then get you the info.
[Android Apps and Games] fredbull:
I have seen it's now solved. Thanks you very much !

Thanks+1
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you're welcome :) these kinda bugs shouldn't appear anymore hopefully as I found a way to automate the import of 25+ locales into NoLED with every release.
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
Here you go.

http://pastebin.com/dtD7C7VU

For me I don't have any popups for email via Touchdown or Txt via Go SMS Pro (turned off the popup in go sms).

As a recap I'll get an email or a text message, the no led icon will appear for the notification, then the lockscreen will appear, screen will timeout, then go back to sleep with no more notification icon showing.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Darien,

it's a timeout setting issue.

go to noled settings > battery saving features > notification timeouts. what value do you have here?
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
Interesting... there is nothing there... none of the radio dots are selected for the timeout value.

I'll select one now and edit this post after I've tested it.

edit: Selecting a timeout value resolved the issue. Thanks! I wonder why no value was selected at all? Doesn't seem like that should even be possible....
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I know ! I'll try to replicate this issue. you were upgrading from 4.8 to 5.x and never edited that setting previously, right?

thing is, I added a couple of extra values to the timeout in v5.x (namely 5sec and 10sec) so it seems the indexing got screwed.

The default value is "no timeout". I have no idea why that radio button wasn't selected :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
Correct. Thanks for the quick fix, one of my must have apps back to working at full strength!
[Android Apps and Games] eiddor:
Same thing here - setting was erased. Thanks for catching it, and thanks Darien for getting the logs done before I could (she just got home, heh).
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
thanks to you guys for helping me find this one.

i think i'll just force a reset of these values with the next update :rolleyes:

lesson learned: don't ever change the units without resetting the values. timeout values used to be in minutes, now they're in seconds. so people that used to have 10min for a timeout will find that NoLED is timing out in 10secs. If the previous time (in mins) was 15, well.. now it's 15 seconds but that value is not listed therefore no radio buttons are selected.
[Android Apps and Games] eiddor:
That's what ours was :)
[Android Apps and Games] SuperMario=ITA=:
ok

Anyway, it seems that is not a popup related problem, because I disabled popup in Viber but when I receive a message, I get the notification in the statusbar, the screen turn on and remains at the lockscreen.

If the program turns on the screen when gets the notification, NoLed will fail.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
Sorry, I guess you were right after all. I had set mine for 15 minutes way back when I first started using the app. Funny thing is I've rolled back to 5.0.3b, it is still set at 5sec timeout (settings don't revert to 15 min), but it times out when it's supposed to.

EDIT: Confirmed, I re-installed 5.0.6, reset to 15 minutes timeout, and it is working fine. *Whew!*
[Android Apps and Games] smumdax:
I believe I have been having this problem since I've updated to the last version 5.0.6

I'm having double icons notifications... Say I have a SMS. Then the SMS icon will appear, along with another icon with the sender's image.

Same thing with email. I'll get the email icon, and also a Gmail icon.

As this issue been resolved or should I revert to the other version before ?
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
Noled

I noticed that too, but it wasn't computing I was so focused on the cycling bug. Also, I've been flashing so much lately, I need to slow down.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
yea the issue is actually the screen turning on and not the popups.

if you don't have a lockscreen and your third party app (monitored app) is turning the screen on, NoLED will fail.

this is low on my priority list to fix for the moment given how unique this configuration is. like I said, once I figure a way to whatsapp myself, I'll work on it :)

that's actually how NoLED is supposed to work. it just wasn't doing that in 4.8 and earlier because of a bug ironically. lol

solution: don't double check things in the default toggle screen and in monitored apps. select only one or the other. so for your email, select either your email accounts under toggle notifications > emails or the gmail entry in monitored apps but not both!
[Android Apps and Games] SuperMario=ITA=:
thanks mate ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Remeniz:
Just realised that the audio notification doesn't work no more. I'm on the Galaxy S2.

Everything else seems fine but I've set up the audio notification at intervals of 180 seconds but it's not working. Previous to the update I'd get reminders.

The proximity feature is disabled.

:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
it works here and I have the same device.

make sure your phone is not in silent/vibrate mode. double check your audio settings and make sure you have selected a proper ringtone. i'd say set your intervals to 4 seconds initially to make sure that everything is in place, then go back to 180 seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Grinny:
Hi, I seem to be getting random notifications. I.e a notification showing a txt, but when unlocking the screen. I do not have any txt or other outstanding notification.

I've tried logging the triggered events, but the log doesn't seem to be big enough to capture what's happening. It does contain a lot of events from 3g watchdog, but i haven't selected that as a monitored app.

Silly question, but i assume it's not possible for this app to delete sms's?

I'm currently using an SGS2 gt9100 gingerbread 2.3.6.

Any advice appreciated.

Thx

*update. Definitely had a notification for a SMS, only to find no SMS in message box. Checked with friend who sent and they confirmed they had sent a message, so it looks like it may be deleting messages unless for some reason they are not fully making it to the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] nepoc:
Any luck with the Galaxy Nexus?

Hey I saw someone ask this before but I couldn't find any update.

With regards to the Galaxy Nexus and the on screen buttons. Have you found a way in the API to hide those buttons?

If you have and need someone to test just let me know and I'll try it out.

Also wanted to say the app is awesome, keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Nelthalin:
I did some retesting of the battery drain. I still don't find the results very solid. I don't trust the battery readout of the Note but it will just have to do:

Big red call missed notification + clock: 7 sec screen off, 1 sec screen on:

Average drain: 1% per 9 min 25 sec - Total data time: +- 55 min 7 intervals

Big red call missed notification + clock: 7 sec screen off, 0,25 sec screen on:

Average drain: 1% per 11 min 15 sec - Total data time: +- 99 min 12 intervals

Big red call missed notification + clock: 10 sec screen off, 1 sec screen on:

Average drain: 1% per 12 min 30 sec - Total data time: +- 62 min 6 intervals

Big red call missed notification + clock: Screen on all the time lowest brightness:

Average drain: 1% per 7 min 43 sec - Total data time: +- 112 min 17 intervals

This is the raw data:

I did the testing during some reading on the web. and checked the last few minutes of a expected % drop (after the first 2 intervals you have a nice indication). The start point should be discarded. Because that 1% could already be half way down. For the results i started looking at the difference between step 2 and 3. But sometimes i was a bit to late. But because i have more intervals it should not have much impact. I made sure the final interval was close to spot on.

I did the retest. And the results are much closer this time so i was right it would be around 11min per %.

So to get more stable results you should:

-start testing at 80% all the time.

-test for 2 hours not missing a % drop interval. I was not able to do that all the time. Especially with the blinking notification tests. you don't know exactly when its gonna change

-you should not use the phone for other things that day (use a simcard/phone number that will not be called)

-have the phone on the same location

I did not have the time for that kind of testing. This already took quite some time. But for now its a nice indication. ^_^

Edit:

Added new data from Retest
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea, you're not the first one to complain about that issue. I can assure you that I am not explicitly deleting messages and nothing of that sort is in my code.

Are you using any 3rd party SMS Software? I know some of them have this option to "disable other SMS apps" so maybe their exclusivity is causing havoc here.

Do you have Contact photos checked under Icons? If so, uncheck that and see if it does anything? I'm really only guessing things at this point as I don't have that problem personally and I surely am not deleting any SMSes anywhere.

The problem does seem to be happening on CDMA networks mostly though (Verizon, Sprint), judging by the emails that I'm getting.

I kinda neglected that one. I'll work on it :)

I think I'm gonna make it so that the navigation keys appear only when you touch the screen. that way it won't confuse people and they'll find a way to get out of NoLED notifications if they couldn't figure how to double-tap.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
get 5.0.8b from the OP and let me know how it goes.

you'll need to enable that option from the Misc submenu. (users of non-ics roms will not even see this option in the list).
[Android Apps and Games] nepoc:
Perfection!

Works just like I would expect it to. I'll use it all day and let you know how it plays out.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

I've had that happen with a friend of mine who has some cheap, low-end phone. I could never figure out why our texts back and forth didn't make sense until I saw the icon telling me I had a message, then have it disappear when I opened the phone to respond. Some were dropping out, so the conversation often made no sense plus his messages to me were always broken up into two or three if they were long, when normally they would be in one message. Sometimes I would respond before his total message came through which really made it hard to follow the conversation.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you're not using any 3rd party texting app?

i don't really use the default sms from my carrier (AT&T $$$). i use google voice for that so i can't say i've experienced that problem personally. I do know that this is happening only on some devices so my findings for the cause aren't conclusive. I can only speculate at this point.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
No way, I would never use a third party app. I think the problem can be on the low end phones slow processor or network. I've noticed that it's texts from people with the low end phones that this happens.

Themes

sorry if this has been asked before but 360-something pages was a lot for me to read through. anyways i cant seem to get my themes to work. i downloaded them from the website, made sure there were pictures in each folder, and saved them as instructed yet they only thing that shows up is the theme size. none of the picture icons are showing up. what am i doing wrong? thanks in advance for any help. oh and when i saved them to my sd card, they show up in my picture gallery...thats wrong right??
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
from all those apps you listed, whatsapp is the only one i use. I put on "display a popup" and the screen doesn't turn on when i get an incoming message. only a popup in the background (screen stays off). So NoLED works just fine with WL + HomeHelper + Whatsapp popups.

GoSMS obviously works since I fixed and tweaked that stuff manually.

I don't use Viber. I'll have a look at Calendar Snooze and see what's the deal.

it's not like a lot of "monitored apps" are turning the screen on u know :rolleyes:

Edit: my friend, try 5.0.9b and lemme know. should hopefully take care of it.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you're probably not setting your paths correctly.

/sdcard/noled/themes/my_theme/icon_gtalk.png is what noled looks for. my_theme will be listed in noled settings > icons > themes. and can be any other name.

if it doesn't, then your paths aren't right.

your themes appearing in the gallery is normal. i think you'll need to place a ".nomedia" file inside the theme folders to fix that issue. (you might need to reboot after that for the gallery to reflect the changes).
[Android Apps and Games] MBM7881:
thanks but its still not working for me...i dont know what the heck i'm doing wrong. i set up the path the way you stated but when i select my_theme on my phone there isn't anything there. yet i see it in my sd card when i hook it up to the computer.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
there shouldn't be anything in there. you select that from the themes menu and then you're supposed to see these new icons whenever you get new notifications.

make sure you also don't have two nested folders with the theme name like "/sdcard/noled/themes/my_theme/my_theme/" <-- that won't work.

once you select my_theme, hit test and you should see the new icons.
[Android Apps and Games] MBM7881:
i figured out what i was doing wrong...or at least this is what worked...the path was right but the theme icons weren't coming up for some reason so i deleted the theme folders and redownloaded them again...working now. thanks so much
[Android Apps and Games] SuperMario=ITA=:
yes, I tweaked these apps and now the only problem is with viber, that turns on screen also if I unselect the option "display popup".
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
wait, in 5.0.9b?
[Android Apps and Games] nepoc:
Galaxy Nexus Update

Just wanted to let you know 5.0.8b is working very well.

There is only one other problem I have noticed but can currently be worked around by not using it. If you use the blink mode the ICS lock animation is triggered every time it turns the screen off. Which actually seems to use more power than you'd expect (also it's very distracting since it is quite bright).

I guess one option for a blink mode on ICS could be instead of turning the screen completely off, just fake it. Turn off displaying anything (clock, icons, etc.) and turn the brightness all the way down. Then return to configured brightness values and display the (clock, icons, etc.), wash, rinse and repeat.

If you get a chance to try that out just let me know and I'll gladly test it.

Thanks for your hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'd implement that except that I'm not convinced it'll save any battery juice for you. you see when the screen is on, regardless what pixels you display, the CPU is not in sleep/idle mode anymore. The screen's touch drivers are also on. The two alone are responsible for much of the battery drain that you get when the screen is on. I imagine wifi/bluetooth and other features also kick into idle mode when the cpu is idle. I'll be happy if someone can prove me wrong :)

You can test this easily actually by loading up a black image on your screen. Keep the screen on from Android setting and after an hour or two check your battery drain.
[Android Apps and Games] SuperMario=ITA=:
wooops, testing now 5.0.9b ;)
[Android Apps and Games] SuperMario=ITA=:
GO SMS works also with "turn on screen" option on, Calendar snooze works with "wake device" option on. ;)

Viber doesn't work, dunno why. :confused: Also with "unlock screen" option off, it shows a popup and turn on screen, and the screen remains on until timeout, and NoLed doesn't start.

I also tried to set "delay notification" to 5 sec, no luck. :(

Haven't tried whatsapp yet...my contact haven't replied yet :p

High Battery Consumption

i just want report my problem:

(i have a galaxy S2,gingerbread rom official based, and this is what happen to me everyday)

On my phone i have installed an app that turn on aereo mode every night and turn of every morning at 7.00AM and also at the same time turn on wifi.

The phone ,start looking form mails or sms and if found something Noled start with his notification.

I don't know if is it normal,but when i have Noled notifications active,my phone even if is screen off is considered ON and i have high battery consumption.

Also in every other time of the day,when noled start with his notification,my phone have high consumption

Any idea?
